Lessors-whether real estate companies, institutions or individuals-need a deposit (dép? T de garantie), equivalent to two months' rent. When the lessee leaves the house, if the house equipment is not damaged, and the contract made when moving out is consistent with the contract made when moving in, the deposit shall be returned to the lessee. If the house is not cleaned when you leave or the original items are damaged, the landlord has the right to deduct it from the deposit, so be sure to clean it when you move. In addition, when college students rent a house, they usually ask their parents to sign a warning. When signing the contract and handing over the key, you need to pay one month's rent in advance; If you rent it through a real estate service company, you must also pay the commission of the real estate company. The rent must be paid at the beginning of each month. In any case, it is necessary to buy a multi-risk residential insurance for the rented house, covering at least two risks: water damage and fire.
Because of the high rents and few vacancies in major cities in France, it is increasingly difficult for even French residents to find housing. The situation in Paris is particularly special; Generally speaking, the rent in Paris is 50% higher than that in other provinces.
In France, it is especially difficult for college students to find a house: not only the price is high, but also many students who have no fixed salary or income source can hardly meet the demanding requirements of the owners, and they can't find a house because of various conditions such as the income level often stipulated by the owners. In view of this situation, France has formulated the "dormitory for college students" system. There are two kinds of housing for college students, one is public student apartment (crous) and the other is private student apartment (résidence étudiant).
Housing type
College student apartment
In France, apartments for college students located on university campuses or cities are managed by the Regional Center for University and School Affairs (CROUS). The apartment has a single room of 10 to 12 square meters, with furniture and bathroom facilities. The bathroom and shower are shared by floors. Public facilities also include: public kitchen, work and meeting room, etc. Some apartments also provide some special services, such as cleaning public parts, providing sheets, permanent security, and so on. The average rent of such houses is between 120 and 300 euros per month.

These houses are allocated according to the social conditions of students. It is difficult to find accommodation in public university apartments, especially in Paris. Because these housing places are usually reserved for scholarship holders first. For foreign students, priority is given to those who enjoy French government scholarships.
Private college student apartment
This kind of private apartment for college students is distributed in major cities in France. In order to make up for the shortage of public university apartments, private university apartments in France have developed rapidly in recent years.
Student Apartment
Student Apartment
Private college student apartments usually provide a studio with furniture and equipment; There is a simple kitchen, which can be equipped with tableware as appropriate; Public facilities include: coffee shop, TV room, conference room, copy room, automatic laundry room, etc.
These one-room suites are rented under the lease regulations applicable to the private sector; You must sign a lease and pay the deposit as required. When you leave the house, the deposit can be refunded if the house facilities remain intact when you check in.
In some private college student apartments, students pay their own electricity bills, and they have to pay d 'habitat tax after living for at least one year. The monthly rent of this kind of house is about 590 to 686 euros in Paris and 400 to 686 euros in other provinces.
private house
Renting this kind of private house, even a furnished room or a suite with one room and one living room, usually requires parents' guarantee to pay the rent on time. Generally speaking, the landlord has strict requirements for the tenant's economic income, that is, the declared income must reach at least four times the rent. The landlord can ask the tenant to show the salary table in recent months or the annual income declaration in the last year or two. If a guarantor is needed, the income of the guarantor should be at least six to eight times higher than the rent.
This kind of housing usually needs to be found through property intermediary management companies; You can also rent it directly to the owner through newspaper advertisements. According to French custom, the rent consists of two parts: one part is the house rent belonging to the owner, and the other part is called "charge", which is mainly used to pay for daily public expenses, such as letters, concierge, cleaning of public parts of buildings and so on. The amount of miscellaneous fees varies according to the size of the house and the level of the building. The incidental expenses for student accommodation are about 50 euros per month. In the rental advertisement, if there is an abbreviation for "CC", that is, "charge", it means that the listed rent already includes "miscellaneous fees"; Otherwise, you will have to add miscellaneous fees. To be prudent, you should always ask the landlord or real estate agent if the rent includes miscellaneous fees.
Family boarding
The so-called family boarding means renting a furnished room in a private family and living with the host family. This method is especially suitable for short-term residents; For international students, it is also a way to solve the housing problem. Boarding can also take several different forms, such as including breakfast, or allowing the use of the host family's kitchen and so on. Landlords' requirements for tenants in terms of guarantee and rent payment will also vary from person to person. The rent for this kind of family boarding in Paris is about 800 to 1050 euros per month, and the price in other provinces can be halved. Of course, the biggest disadvantage of this kind of house is its limited independence, such as voice and receiving friends.
hotel
Hotel accommodation is expensive, at least around 48 euros per night, so it can only be a temporary expedient. It is worth mentioning that in France, some hotels implement a decreasing price system and take preferential prices for guests who stay for more than one month.
housing allowance
As college students, there are two kinds of housing subsidies that can be applied for, but they cannot be collected at the same time.
Social housing subsidy
Any foreign student who meets certain conditions has the right to apply and enjoy. The main conditions that the subsidy object should meet are:

Applications for social housing subsidies should be submitted to the Family Subsidy Administration where the housing is located. The subsidy amount can reach 50% of the rent, but the maximum subsidy amount does not exceed 65,438+063 euros in Paris and 65,438+040 euros in other provinces. Foreign students can apply for this housing subsidy after arriving in France and obtaining housing.
Personal housing subsidy
If the rented house falls within the scope of APL (individual housing subsidy) agreement, you can enjoy rent reduction subsidy. The amount of relief depends on the level of taxable income. The relevant application materials must be submitted to the Family Allowance Authority (CAF) in the place of residence. Materials to be prepared include:
Copies of the front and back of the residence permit, and the original must be submitted for inspection;
Bank account certificate;
Copy of student ID card;
If the residence is a college student apartment, provide the original residence certificate issued by the apartment management agency;
If the residence is a private rental house, a rent receipt, lease and income declaration form should be provided.
